DETROIT, Mich, Sept. 3o.-A case of al
legged horse hydrophobia in the township of
Greenfield is exciting much interest among
the medical fraternity, especially in view of

become vicious. The wound was cauterized
after Veterinary Murphy had pronounced
the horse afflicted with rabies Reed at once
had the horse killed. The spinal cord was
secured and this afternoon two rabbits were
inoculated with the virus and several dogs
trepanned and clots of the cord laid on their
brains.
Reed is a wealthy farmer and is wrought
up to high pitch Of excitement. He at first
decided to wait five days to learn the result
of the experiments begun today, but this
afternoon changed his mind and will start
for Paris at once to consult Pasteur.

Strikes Justified by Pow erIy.

PHILADELPHIA, Sept. 30.-Mr. Il. v.
Powderly will say tomorrow in his paper:
With the result Of the late coal strike before
the public, the press in many cases still assert
other than that of bringing reproach upon the
cause of labor. The great coal Strike of last win
ter was by the press heralded.as a failure.
Does any one think that the last concession on
the part Of the coal companies would have been
made but for the memory of that strike? We do
not The immediate effect of that strike was too
disastrous to be again evoked aside from this. So
wi0e and far spreading was the interest that
everywhere throughout this country and Europe
the arbitrary unjust and tyrannical procedure of
the coal combinations was thoroughly expressed
and brought TO them most unenviable n0toriety.
Strikes are the poor mans armament. No 9TH
er weapon is within his reach. That some suffer
unjustly is true. So do the innocent in all con-
ficts We do not like strikes any more than the
peaceful husbandman likes the battlefield, but
the huSbandman shoulders cheerfully mis- musket
reigns strikes will cease. Until then Will labor
strike and strike.

96,529, against 81, ,921 ,916 last year While

Some five or six years ago the Grand
Trunk secured the immense hog traffic Of
John p. Squire & Co. from the Vanderbilt
lines, but within the past week this business
has been transferred back TO the Vanderbilt
roads. The traffic is sufficient to figure up a
total Of about million dollars a year, but
the low rates at which 1t is handled does not
allow Of q large profit to the railroads. OF
the local roads, the Central Vermont,
Cheshire and Fitchburg lose the traffic, while
